Austin Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 I decided I would go and take some pictures of the International Harvester US air force coach thats been stood for about 10+ years thats near my house. Anyone know what year this is from? Any in preservation? Is this an old school bus dressed up to look like a USAF vehicle? Nobody was about to ask questions, so dont know if its for sale.

Adrian Barrell Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 Looks like an IH Loadstar and if the registration is genuine, it's a 1970. That's certainly in the ballpark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snapper Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 Saw something similar traversing the Beltring roundabout in about 1999. Looks genuine and very interesting. Something different. I like. MB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bodge Deep Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 Nice... make a good camper... or even jeep transport... i'd imagine one could be slotted in the back the way they used to for motor racing in the old days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Farrant Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 Saw something similar traversing the Beltring roundabout in about 1999. Mark, Some years ago, could be about that date, a similar type of bus was at Beltring W&P. It came from Holland and was a wartime White, not sure if it was a rebodied truck chassis or original bus. Might have a photo somewhere. I am sure one of the Dutch guys will know it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great War truck Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 There was an identical bus to that at the Long Hanborough bus museum. The people restoring it ost interest and they were looking to move it on. I wonder if it is the same one? Tim (too) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Burley Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 Whilst on my travels,i came across an aladdins cave of an underground car park in london.Some quite rare exotica there.Every thing including old Astons,Ferraris,Mercs,Rollers,Bentleys.Even some rare stuff up to the present day.It felt a bit spooky,as some of the cars looked like,they had been left there from the decade in which they were made.Some with layers of dust on them.But all in pristine condition.Then i came across this...................... A very nice Hotchkiss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
